For those who have everything: The Champagne Gun
"Popping the cork from a magnum bottle of Champagne and spraying it over a crowd is nothing compared with the sensation of shooting the bubbly 23 feet in the air from a rose-gold rifle," says Sam Dangremond at Town and Country. The Champagne Gun ($459), manufactured by a company in France, recently signed up a U.S. distributor who quickly scored sales to several Miami nightclubs. Any magnum-size Champagne bottle can be used in the gun, which comes in chrome, gold, or rose-gold finishes and can shoot a steady spray for 45 seconds. If there's any bubbly left, it can be poured from a spout below the gun's barrel.
